SUMMARY: Years after graduation, Nya bumps into an old friend at the bookstore. This is a prompt from the Flumptober challenge and I really wanted to do this so yeah!

Jay entered the bookstore, coffee in hand. He glanced around the room, before disappearing behind several shelves to begin his hunt for a good book to read.

From the other side of the bookstore, Nya was squatting on the floor, bag beside her as she messaged her brother, double checking he only needed just the one book on Pride and Prejudice. Biting her lip, she rolled her eyes. She was already annoyed at Kai, and his request for an everything bagel with no cheese was getting on her last nerve, so no, he is not getting that bagel.

The bookstore was usually extremely empty, so it was surprising to Nya to hear a rustle from another aisle. Slowly standing up, she picked her bag up, slipped her phone away and headed towards the source of the sound. She caught sight of a mop of auburn hair bobbing about, and she sprinted forward, so that she was standing behind him. She recognised that hair.

Nya cleared her throat and the male turned around, confirming her suspicions. Her lips slowly stretched into a grin. He had a name; she just couldn't place it. What was it again...John? Jack? Joe? Jeffrey? No...it was...she screamed internally as she heard herself say the wrong name.

"Jimmy?! Oh, it's been so long!"

Jay frowned. Who's Jimmy? Was he Jimmy? He peered behind him, just to make sure it was him she was talking to. Yup, it was him. Well then, Nya Smith, two could play at this game.

"FSM, is it really you...Natalia?! You're right, it's been ages!"

Now it was Nya's turn to frown. Natalia? Who was- oh.

"You mean Nya, right?"

Jay shook his head, "Nope, I'm pretty sure it's Natalia. Or Nancy...or Nora or Nina...Nadia?" Nya facepalmed.

This was obviously a misunderstanding, right? He hadn't actually forgotten, had he?

"You know that's not my name, right?"

Jay smirked, "I know your name, Nya. But...do you know my name? Or am I gonna have to live as 'Jimmy' when it comes to you?"

Nya grinned, "Jay Walker. The guy who blew up the science lab on the first day of Senior year. It's been too long, my friend."

The auburn nodded, "It has. I know a nice little café not too far from here. Wanna...I dunno, grab a coffee and maybe...catch up?"

"I'd like that."

He tugged at her arm, "We should probably go now. I knocked over a shelf of books back there and I do not wanna get caught."

Giggling, Nya let herself be pulled outside by Jay, as they made a run for it, falling about in peals of laughter.
